What are we doing with the data we are collecting from this project? Today I formulated a project proposal for the Intro to Geospatial Applications class taught by Dr Jose Diaz-Garayua. This will be the first project made with the dataset. This information would not be possible without the hundreds of users who have made thousands of contributions over the past 12 years. Please note that all research products from this project will be fully open access and available to the public.
